Hiya and Welcome to My Blog

Today its a 'Dare To Be Sassy Thursday' so its time to show you my make for the New Challenge over on the 'Sassy Studio Designs BLOG' the theme today is 'Watch it Fall - Leaves'

I chose to use 'Effie Trinket 1' for my Image today as she is also up as our 'Flashback Friday' Image for tomorrow so keep your eyes open for when she is available at the Special Flashback Price for the week starting tomorrow 

I coloured her using Copic Markers

I wanted to make something a little different so I created a box for some tealight candles using pearlescent cardstock and cut out a window which i lined with acetate

I printed out a quote from 'Emily Bronte' about Fall Leaves, matted this onto sanded kraftcard and fixed to the card front.

I die cut some leaves from mirror board and textured metallic paper and attached them around the window.

I then fussy cut 'Effie' using a pair of small scissors and fixed her to the front of the box.

Its a simple make but really nice to give to someone as a gift

I hope you like my make and will visit again soon, dont forget to head on over to the Sassy Blog to see the Design Team examples and enter the challenge

Frankie - DTBST - Sketch It Up

Hiya today we have a New Challenge over at Sassy Studio Designs blog for DTBST (Dare To Be Sassy Thursday)

The theme today is a Sketch

I've had an Image and Papers from Sassy Studio Design's printed out for a while now so decided now was the time to get her coloured up and on to a card

I used the 'Monster Sassy Frankie Set' - digi image and papers

 I coloured her using Copic Markers

Skin: BG11, BG10

Eyes & accessories: B02, B00

Lips: E07, E04

Eyeshadow: V20, V01

Bow: V01

Dress: C9, C7, C5

Belt: C5 and silver sakura

I made a Paper Rose using spotty paper from my scrap box and a Blossom Punch by Joycrafts, I shaped the petals using the Blossom Tool Kit also by Joycrafts

I used an A4 embossing folder designed by Sue Wilson for the background I matted this panel with black cardstock and fixed to an 8x8 cardblank. The Argoyle Papers are from the 'Monster Sassy Frankie Set' this i trimmed into a strip, matted using silver mirror board and fixed to card front using foam tape. The tabs I cut from scraps from my scrap box and attached under the Argoyle panel using glue gel.

I trimmed the Image into a topper, matted with black cardstock and attached to the card front using 2 depths of foam tape because one side fits to the already raised panel. I then trimmed a patterned ribbon from American crafts and fixed to the cardfront using tacky glue so that it tucked just under the image topper.

I die cut some flowers and layered up with centres and fixed to the card front using glue gel, I attached the large paper rose to finish my card. I have not added a sentiment yet so i can re-use this card in future for any birthday party etc that one of my girls may get invited to.

I hope you like my card and that you may be inspired to try something new with the sketch from the DTBST Challenge please do visit the blog to see all the details

Patchwork Pretties - Challenge entry for Creative Knockouts

Today Sassy Studio Designs are sponsoring a Challenge over at Creative Knockouts the challenge theme is 'Patchwork Pretties' so which Sassy Image did I chose? Sally Honey of course for her beautiful Patchwork Dress. I love her she is so spooky but in this card I have softened her with some pretty pastels to show that she isnt just for Halloween. I teamed he up with a lovely sentiment stamp from Visible Image about Friends being a Patchwork - such a lovely sentiment.

I coloured her to match my papers using Copic Markers

Hair: C8, C6, C4

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000

Shoes: C6, C4

Dress: YR04, YR02, R22, R20, YR000, B24, B21, C1, YG63, YG61

The papers I used were offcuts from my stash which I pieced together to form a patchwork background. I used a Halloween foam stamp set for the webs and spider, I used a quilted embossing folder for the layer behind the topper and I have used some silver mirror board for the matting. I used a piece of ric-rac ribbon and a silver spider charm in the top corner of the card. I added some dimension and texture with 2 circular die-cuts cut from pearlescent cardstock. A few gems from my stash finished the card nicely.

I hope you like my card and will check out the Challenge over at Creative Knockouts.

The Music Of The Night - Phantom of the Opera - for Inspired by a Song Challenge

I so so loved the theme of the Creata Challenge this time and thought I had missed the deadline to enter but thankfully not so I got to create the card I imagined when I saw the theme 'Inspired By A Song' check out the Challenge HERE!

The song I chose is.....'The Music Of The Night' from 'The Phantom of the Opera' my absolute fave Musical ever by the amazingly talented Andrew Lloyd Webber. You can find a link to the video I watched while planning and making my card below...

The Music Of The Night

To make this card I have used an Image of 'The Phantom' from Sassy Studio Designs you can get him HERE! you will need to scroll down a few images to find him.

I have coloured my Phantom using Copic Markers

Hair: E49, E39, E29

Eyes: YG67, YG63

Skin: E13, E00, E000

Lips: E04

Mask, Cravat & Cape Lining: C3, C1, 0

Jacket & Trousers: C9, C7, C5

Cloak: 100, C10, C8, C6

Shoes: 110, 100, C10

The Rules of Creata Challenge are you need to use at lease 1 Creata Product in your entry so I'm listing my Creata Products here:

Ruby Red Mirror Board

White Silky Cardstock

Hearts Entwined Die

Stage Curtains Die

I have used an 8x8 scalloped cardblank to make my card. I have used White Creata Silky Cardstock and Ruby Red Creata Mirror Board for the matt&layering behind the black background.

For the background I wanted to create a bit of Drama so I trimmed a piece of cardstock and then using some stamps and embossing powders I think I achieved the look I wanted.

The Chandelier Stamp is from Visible Image

The other various Music stamps are from an old Kanban set from my stash

I stamped the Chandelier's first at varying heights at the top of the Cardstock using a watermark inkpad then used white embossing powder and a heatgun. I did the same with the music notes, flourish and the piano keys. I stamped the music score stamp and the treble clef stamp using watermark inkpad and then used red tinsel embossing powder and a heatgun. I then fixed this panel to the Matt & Layered cardblank.

I die cut the Stage Curtains Die and the Entwined Hearts Die from Ruby Red Mirror board and then fixed to the cardfront along with the Phantom image that i fussy cut out

I am really pleased with how my card has turned out and I really hope you like it.
